Martin is sounding glorious in the lovely Aussie sunshine on IG man! Making me terribly jealous of the dour, damp scenes outside the window and making me want to reach for my Collings!
Mahogany guitars are bloody great though aren't they! I've always had a want for a Cedar/ Mahogany guitar and concluded the best bet is a Lowden/ McIlroy/ McNally if the budget was strong or a Takamine N-20 if not so strong. Really wish Collings did a Cedar top but apparently Bob Collings hated them, made a few but was never happy with the bridge adhesion on Cedar?
Couldn't find a nice picture of a McNally J Cedarhog but also lovely. It's strange how Ireland is so on top of the modern acoustic game!

Ha, thanks man... It's a nice part but I don't do it justice, I prefer it cranked on the Jag... Really happy with that Martin, it sounds beautiful...
What size are those acoustics? They look huge!

I've used cedar for a fair few projects for clients over the years, nothing like as intricate as guitar making though. From my experience, what makes it fantastic at resisting rot; the oil content, makes it tricky to glue / make failure of glue joints possible.

Why is that strange (genuine question)?

I remember going to a festival in Oxford, MS in the late 90s, ostensibly to see the North Mississippi All Stars and Othar Turner, but she was headlining... She hit the stage as the sun was going down, it was bloody magical...
And Southern Culture on the Skids played which was a lot of fun, main guy made me very jealous with his beaten up TV Junior... Was a great day...
